## What is Calorel?

Calorel is the calorie counter that grades your plate. Snap a photo of your meal and get the calories, protein, carbs and fat, plus a plate score from 1 to 10. So you see how well you eat, not just how much.

Want to lose weight, stay in shape or simply eat better? Calorel works out your daily calorie goal and helps you reach it, meal by meal. No weighing, no endless food lists, no account.

WHAT CALOREL DOES
• One photo and done: the foods, portions, calories and macros, up to 10 foods on a plate.
• A plate score from 1 to 10, from protein, vegetables, fat and portion size. A day score from all your meals, and a week score with your best plate.
• A daily calorie goal, worked out from your age, height, weight, activity and what you are after: lose, maintain, gain or eat better. Or set your own.
• Easy corrections: “more rice” with a tap, or in your own words: “no sour cream”, “two more slices”.
• Barcode: scan a product and pick how much you ate, the whole pack, half or your own grams.
• Food log: your days with totals and a gallery of your plates with their scores. Swipe from one meal to the next.
• Reminders to snap your lunch and dinner, at the times you choose. Never when you have already logged the meal.
• Frequent meals, added with one tap.
• Share your plate, your day or your week, with its score, anywhere.

HEALTHY HABITS, ONE PLATE AT A TIME
Calorel does not make you count every gram. The score shows what you can do better at the next meal: more vegetables and protein, right-sized portions, fewer hidden fats. A slightly better plate today, another one tomorrow: the habit counts, not the perfect meal.

KNOWS ROMANIAN FOOD TOO
Over 450 Romanian dishes with portions from real menus: sarmale, mici, ciorbă, polenta with cheese. Values come from recipes, menus and product labels, not guesses.

NO ACCOUNT. YOUR LOG STAYS WITH YOU
Your log, saved photos and goal stay on your phone. To recognise the food, the photo is sent for analysis with Google Gemini, in the European Union, only after you agree, and it is not kept on the server. No ads.

THE SUBSCRIPTION
Your first three plates are on the house. Then you use Calorel with a monthly or yearly subscription, with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple account at the end of the trial unless you cancel at least 24 hours before. The subscription renews automatically at the same price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Cancel any time in Settings, your name, Subscriptions. Without a subscription your history stays visible.

Calories are estimates and do not replace the advice of a doctor or dietitian.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-10-31

Calorel now speaks English. The language follows your phone; choose it, and your units (cm/kg or ft/lb), in Settings.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-30

Small technical improvements.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-29

• Three free analyses: your first three plates are on the house, not just one.
• Weekly grade: the Journal shows how you ate all week. On Sunday and Monday you get the full card, with your best plate, ready to share.
• Swipe or use the arrows to move between meals in the Journal.
• Correct a meal in your own words, in Romanian: „fără smântână”, „încă doi mici”. Whatever Calorel can't work out on its own, the AI sorts out.
• Up to 10 foods per plate, each listed separately.
• Photo reminders at lunch and dinner, at times you choose, only if you haven't saved anything in the last 4 hours.
• Soups, beans and lentils now count as vegetables in the plate grade.
• New icon: Calorel with a fork.
• Fixed: on iOS 27, picking a photo from the gallery no longer closes the app, and HDR photos from newer iPhones are analysed properly.
• If something goes wrong, you now see a clear message and a way back instead of a black screen.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-25
